In
1993, while I was 21 years old I
opened a sandwich restaurant
franchise and began a career in
the food industry. Within
months of opening the franchise
I moved out of state and began
working for the franchisor in
the Corporate Office where I
proceeded to learn all the
aspects of franchising.
After a few years, I found
myself in the position to buy
the development rights to that
franchise as well as another
franchise for my home state of
California. I did so and
began to oversee the development
of the state. Wanting to
know the fastest and best way to
grow my 30 locations into 100, I
started researching franchising
and how other brands had
developed.
I
developed a
little timeline to track
the restaurants and posted the
information on the internet so I
would be able to review it from
home or from the office.
As search engines became
popular, my site started to find
other interested eyes viewing
it.
I
eventually moved the site to
it's own domain (www.whendidithappen.com)
and let it sit. I
eventually got out of the food
business and started my own
Media business (www.dacymedia.com)
but the site stayed online and
kept getting busier and busier.
After years of sitting gathering
dust, I decided to give it an
overhaul and add other brands
besides only restaurants.
I hope you find the site
interesting and accurate.

information or corrections,

Thanks for visiting.
